Good game, and worked hard, like he does most of the games he plays. He scored, and now everybody loves him again. Err no, don't get ahead of yourself......we are giving credit, where credit is due. its not an argument clincher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I thought it was a classic Gabby goal that he used to get in his prime, he is a player that is better when not allowed to think on the ball. His chance at Palace he had about 3 touches and made a balls of it as an example 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 If history teaches us anything it is that gabby will go missing for a little bit now and then score another goal in maybe about 6 games, then go missing for about another 6 games.... Really, really hope he proves me wrong but this is how 80% of his career has been and I'm not betting on him breaking any habits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 He looked well up for it though didnt he. Different player after the goal. Go on a run Gabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Whatever his beef with Remi was, he looks to have moved on past it and is showing a better attitude. If he can stay fit and keep enjoying his football then who knows he might just score again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDuck Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Pleased he scored. He's frustrated me so much over his career, but I don't feel any hatred for him like some seem to. He's probably scored more premier league goals than the rest of our squad put together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincenzo Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I've said it before. If he was top drawer he'd of left us years ago He's the only proven regular Premier league goalscorer we have in our squad...so play him. Yes he can be non existent in games so take him off We are struggling for goals so we've got to take a punt on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still have half of the best strikeforce outside the top 6 in history. If we can keep him fit and then it's up to him to prove it and go and do it. Problem is he is unfit. He has been for a few seasons now. He made a big difference vs Norwich but if anybody is expecting him to do that regularly in the shape he's in (especially against better opposition), they are going to be disappointed. I can't understand why he hasn't been put on a program to get fit again. He has had months on the sidelines this season where it could have been done. He would be twice the player and I would have a lot more confidence in him being the answer to our goal scoring problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I'm hoping Gabby goes on a little scoring streak now. When he is in form he's unplayable, it's just that when he isn't, he just disappears for 3months at a time. He's still out of shape and that's why Remi and him fell out I believe.

Gabbys never been unplayable sorry but thats just not true. When on form he is good but in his years here he has never been "unplayable" in my eyes. Benteke on his day was unplayable not gabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did I just imagine that? Anyway, he's our only mobile forward who will make runs in behind and stretch opponents, he does look a little fat to me (for a pro footballer) but clearly still has pace, has to lead the line from now on.

We have seen him tear teams apart in his day, merely hoping he finds that sort of form if we play to his strength. My point was he has long drought spells in his career, now is not the time for another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
